Winchester School of English is a boutique school located in the city of Winchester, in the south of England and less than 1 hour from the heart of London. Winchester is the perfect destination to experience day-to-day life in an English city while living with an English family only a short distance from the school.

Winchester School of English was established in 1989, and although acquired by ATC Language & travel in 2013, the programmes and ethos at the school remain unchanged. Our courses are accredited by the British Council and the school is a member of English UK and Quality English. The reputation of the Winchester School of English has been built on a foundation of academic excellence in small classes with a very high degree of personal attention. The school has 5 classrooms with a maximum of 8 students per class (10 in summer) and this enables all our students to get to know each other and means that we can help them gain the maximum benefit from the time they spend with us. The school building itself is a wonderful Victorian building, which began life over 100 hundred years ago as a family residence. It therefore comes as no surprise that our students feel they are part of one big family.

All our teachers are native English speakers, TEFL qualified and educated to degree level. We offer General & Intensive English programmes, including group, 1-to-1 and combination courses which enables us to meet a wide range of student needs. We are also a testing centre for Cambridge exams (FCE, CAE and CPE).We want our students to use and improve their language skills by discovering and experiencing English life and culture to the full. We encourage our students to do this through our teaching and the social activities we organise every week. The personal involvement of staff in these activities is something else which contributes to the special atmosphere at the school. We also offer homestay accommodation with a host of local families who look after our students and really make them feel at home.
